I'm looking out my home office window at an adult Northern Shrike not 20 feet away sitting in my maple tree as I type this. When the chickadees sounded their alarm call I expected to look out and see my neighborhood Cooper's - the shrike is a great surprise. I'll keep people updated if it stays in the area this weekend. I hope to get my camera on this beauty.
Sighting location at 7325 Austin Powder Drive - Solon, Ohio 44129 at 4:06pm EST 12-4-09
